Young, Due West, S. C.Brndlry Ke union.On Wednesday September 12tb, 1906, theBradley family, with all Its ramlfloatlons[through almost every family In the lowerpart of Abbeville county, met at the residenceof Mr. J. E. Bradley. They came, notfrom the highlands nor yet from the bogs of"Old Erin," but from the hills And valleys olLower Long Cane, where they have lived formore than a century and a half. IAs tbe story goes, tlu ancestor of thisbranch of the Bradley family was educatedfor a Catholic priest, but beiug a little weakon some of the requirements of Ihe faith, es- 'peclalty as to celibacy, he renounced the faithand embraced Protestautlsm. The iamllycame from Ireland and settled In Mew YoikState.Patrick Bradley, the Immediate ancestor olthe family In tlil? county, came to South Carolinaabout one hundred and fifty years ago.He Is burled In Lower Long Cane cemetery.The reunion of last Wednesday, though announcedonly a few days beforehand was amost nleasant atlalr. The bonds of kinshipwere drawn closer together and the spirit of mfraternity cemented. Something over a hundredpersons were present, which representedscarcely two-thirds of the connection.A meeting ot the male representatives, was *called, which was presided over by Hon. J.E. Bradley, now the eldest living male representativetn this county. At this meeting,points of Interest In 'he people's history Inthis country were brought out.A picnic dinner, supplemented by barbeouedmeat and hash was served. It was the generalcomment of those present that theylad never partaken of a belter dinner of tblrcharacter. mAlter a day of chatter and merriment withthe young people, and of pleasant con versa- mlion with the elders, Rev. K. F. Bradley wasasked to invoke the blessing of the Father odthe people. In bis piayer be was thankfulfor the Fatherly Providence that bad guided ^the people to this goodly land and bad "kept cthem under Ibeshadow of His wing."He prayed that they might remain In tht G^ ?anHln/lA awyA A I In Krnl h ^erly love. He asked a continuance of mercy 3and love Id the coming years as In the past uAs one by one each returned to his home, It _was with the feeling that he bad profited by uoelng present at so pleasant and orderly agathering.
